The Scriptural evidence in chart below and in the pamphlet follow- 
ing proves that the Seventieth Week and the Time of the Gentiles mean the 
Christian Age. Also proof is advanced that the year 19 1 7 marks the middle of 
this Christian Age. A deduction made possible by the chart shows that the 
government which started this war is to be destroyed, but later will be recon- 
structed in a new form by the victor. (See Page XIII.). 

This chart represents our view June 25, 1918.

VICTORY FORETOLD 



SEVENTY WEEKS SUPPLEMENT— INTRODUCTION NOTES, THIS WAR 
NOT ARMAGEDDON, IS MENTIONED IN PROPH- 
ECY, WILL BE ENDED IN YEAR 1918. 



Many persons are possessed of the idea that this war is the Armageddon of 
Scripture. If it is Armageddon it must conform to the Scriptural requirements. 
First, the chief center of fighting should be at the mountain of Megiddo, fifty 
miles north of Jerusalem. Second, there must be an army of 200,000,000 tanks. 
Third as a result of that battle a third part of the men on earth must be de- 
stroyed. Fourth, previous to the l}attle of Armageddon the whole human race 
should have come quite completely unde,r the preaching of the Gospel of Christ. 
Fifth, the Eu])hrates river must l;oiorc tlie battle have been dried up so as to furnish 
a "way" for the march of armies coming from the east. These five conditions have 
not been met in even a major part of any one of them. Therefore it is quite plain 
the present war is not Armageddon. Has this war then any place in prophecy? I 
believe it has. By the statements as well as by the signs and types given in Revela- 
tion we can divide the elapsed Christian age into four periods. The first of these 
periods closes with Constantine's Edict of Toleration in the year of our Lord 313. 
Thv second period closes when Mohammed began preaching in 611. The third 
period closes when the Italian Parliament relieved the Pope of Temporal Power in 
1<S71. The fourth period has its middle point indicated by the failure of the Jews 
to restore templcxworship in the year 1917 afte.r the Allies captured Jerusalem. For 
Daniel says. "In the midst of the week He shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation 
to oease."(9 :27.) If therefore three and a half of Revelation's seven periods have 
])assed we should be able to identify this war by the statements in the mid-week 
account of the seven Christian periods as outlined in John's prophecy. The mid- 
week day in a week is the fourth day. The fourth letter to the churches of Asia 
contains the prophecv, "I will kill her children with death" (8:33). In the proph- 
ecy of the fourth seal death and hell have the power to kill with the sword and with 
buuirer over a fourth part of the earth (6:8). The prophecy of the fourth trumpet 
tells of the smiting (8:12). The angel of the fourth bowl of wrath causes men to 
be ''scorched with great brat" (16 :8-9.) The fourth, fifth and seventh jrronns of Rev- 
elation's seven parallel ])rophecies each give the first three and a half periods as one 
figure. The fourth of Revelation's prophecy groups tells us that the nations shall 
tread the holy city under foot, forty-two months (11:2), (Here use the yea,T-for- 
a-day-key.) The fifth prophecy group of Revelation at the close of the first half 
week, evidently justifies the slaughter of this .war bv the statements, "If any man 
shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed" (13 :10). This I helieve 
f« a direct command ordering the men of this generation- to conquer the supporters 
of autocracy. 

Daniel was twice told to seal up his prophecies (8 :26 and 12 :4 and 9). On the 



cuutrary John was commanded, "Seal not np the words of the prophecy of tliis hook" 
(Eev. 22:10). Only hy careful research has it been possible to historically prove 
that the number of years between Ajtaxerxes' decree for the rebuilding of Jerusalem 
(Ezra 7:7-26) and the time of the baptism of Christ was exactly 483 years. The 
sixty-nine weeks of Daniel's prophecy exactly equals these years in their number of 
days (9:25). . ' 

It therefore appears that in the obscured and related prophecies of Daniel and 
Bcvelaiion the year-for-a-day rule is our Jcey. 

Daniel in his last chapter (12 :7-10) tells us that after the end of three and a 
half times the wise shall understand. Gentile nations have continuously dominat- 
ed Palestine far over nineteen hundred years, and the periods in the first and sev- 
enth Christian centuries when the Jews conducted their worship in Jerusalem were 
in the first instance under Eoman and in the second under Persian government. 
Daniel's promise of 1290 days is understood by Zionists to mean that the Jew is to 
get back his land in A. D. 1918 (Dan. 12:11). The Zionists so calculate because 
their temple worship was last interrupted in A. D. 628, and coimting the prophetic 
day as a year, the present year must be the time Daniel's prophecy 
is to be consummated. They arrive at this conclusion by adding the years 1290 and 
62,8. The result is the date 1918. They therefore expect that this year of 1918 is 
not to end before the Jews are guaranteed by treaty the independent possession of 
Palestine. Such a treaty coilld hardly be written while the war continues. 

But today we have a neiv triple Tcey. For in the year 1917 the peace moves of 
the Pope were taken advantage of by Austria and Germany to defeat the Italians in 
battle. Sentiment adverse to the Pope has resulted among the pro-ally nations. 
This sentiment will be a factor in the peace treaty at the. close of the war (Dan. 
7:25-26), "They shall take away his dominion" is significant. This is triple key, 
part first. 

The Jews had opportunity to renew their temple worship in 1917 but failed 
(Dan. 9 :27) "In the midst of the week He shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation 
to cease." This is triple Jcey, part second. 

The Eussian state church was disestablished in 1917 in such a manner as to 
strongly suggest Christ's words, "I do cast her into a bed * * * and I will kill 
her children with death." (Rev. 2:20-23.) This is triple key, part third. 

For this present time "Jesebel" is evidently identical with "Babylon."' "Bab- 
ylon" existed prior to the time of the ten kings, while the Pope came into 
Temporal Power during their time— (Dan. 7:8 and 20-26). Because "Babylon" 
is an ofifense to God we can understand the prophecy telling of the destruction 
of the Jewish temple- worship accomplished by the Greek Church in the year 
628-(Rev. 2:20 and Dan. 12:1 1). 

At the dictation of an angel Daniel prophesied concerning the effects of 
this present world war:-"When they have made an end of breaking in pieces 
the power of the holy people-(l 2:7)-He shall cause the sacrifice and the obla- 
tion to cease." (9:27). These prophecies were fulfilled in 1917 and refer to 
Jewish power and their temple-worship. 

For the Greek Church this war is the actual time of "tribulation." (Rev. 
2:22).

CHART DEDUCTIONS 



AFTERTHOUGHT 

While oonstriietino: the chart — wlucli this pamphlet is an attempt to de- 
scribe — when a pai-tial solution Avoiild illuminate a portion of the field it was 
immediately recorded. And so workino; throufj:h the months as opportunity 
offered, discovery followed disciovery. At last the whole field of endeavor had 
l)een covered; and all the parts of the structure were in their proper places. 
Yet there was still dou))t ; perhaps what seemed a solution was only a delusion. 
The chart was given anothei- careful review, and there on its face stood the 
answer to all my qnestionins-. Unseen before, but now perfectly plain stood 
Ihe conclusive answer; The middle column and the middle groui) on the chart 
contain all the diineull ])roblems of its construction, and wondei- of wonders, 
TIIKV KORM A SVM.MKTinCAL CHOSS. Here then had lain the proof pos- 
sibly undiseovered until now. The still small voice spoke in my inner con- 
sciousness, "The solution is confirmed." It sang the words over and over 
again. Yes, the Mastci- \\'ho gave to John the vision and commanded him to 
write it (mt just as it was given, HID HIS INDIMDrAL :\IAlHv IX THAT 
\Vl\rnX(}. He must have i)ut it there as a sign to confirm and ciomfort those 
who by study seek to find out and know for thcm.selves Jehovah, and His 
l)uri)ose as revealed by His Son, Jesus Chi-ist. 

This cliMt't has been sold or given to about 2.500 clergymen. Just tliree 
ol).j('c1e(l to it. (hie said it i^ondicted with authorities. Another gave no rea- 
son. And tlie third, a colkge i)i-esi(lent, ex])lained that a "prophetic gap" 
occurs after the sixty-ninth week. The aiithoi- believes that if thei-e is such a 
ga]) it has at most only tlu' length of time that Chi-ist was engaged in his ac- 
tive eai-th-ministi-y. This was about three and a half years. But personally, 
we understand that seventy follows immediately after sixty-nine. 

The "False Prophet" mentioned on pages 16 and 20 is certainly the Mo- 
iiammedan faith. The two-horned-beast is the government that is to nile the 
world during the second half week. We were mistaken in thinking this 
beast the same as the "False Pi'ophet." Our manifest mistakes in the first 
edition bring out more sti'ongly the reliabilitv of the chart as a guide. 

The author accepts the claim of the Roman Catholic Church to that 
prophecy by Daniel concerning the three kings and the three horns (see 
"Postscript" page 19.) It therefore follows that if this figure does rep- 
resent the Head of that Church, the Pope would therefore meet defeat in 
1917. Because our chart on the preceding page shoAvs that 1917 is the end 

/// 



of the "three and a half times." In 1917 the Pope made a strong plea to 
the nations for peace and its re-establishment. The Oejitral Powers cleverly 
turned this peace plea to their OMn use and by deceiving the Italians ac- 
complished their defeat. That the Pope was caught in so clever a manner 
by the Central Powers has subjected him to the adverse judgment of the 
whole world. So was fulfilled— in our opinion— the prophecy found in 
Daniel 7:25-26. 

And if there is any prophecy that tells when the war is to end, it is 
found in Daniel 12:11. This phase we have discussed in our "Afterthought" 
in the middle pages of this pamphlet. 

—The Author. 
March, 1918. 

The importance of the entering into the war of the American Democracy 
has become more evident since this pamphlet was publishe:! eight months ago. 
Eemember that the Italian Parlinment relieved the Pope of Temporal Power 
in the spring of 1871, and that the United States declared war on Germany 
April sixth, 1917. The interval is almost exactly 46 years after the act of 
that Parliament. Commentators agree that in Daniel and Revelation where 
the figure of a beast is used it refers to civil e:overrineiit. With this rule 
in mind it becomes plain that the seven-headed-ten-hoi'ued-beast of these 
books is the Roman civil government. The Kaiser claims for himself the 
position of power and dominion which Tiberius and the succeeding Caesars 
have exercised. Thus from the time of the Crucifixion to the present have 
the ideals of Roman civil government remained. Tiberius established the law 
of lese majesty and Wilhelm's throne is protected by it. This Roman ideal 
of government is autocracy. When the United States entered the war autoc- 
racy was challenged. That declaration of war seems the most significant act 
possible when we consider that the heathen institution of autocracy is thus 
placed at death grips with Christian democracy. With these thoughts in mind 
if one will read the twelfth chapter of Revelation it will suggest almost 
to the point of certainty that the decision for Avar by our democracy is 
the very act which marks the middle point of the "Gentiles' Week." This 
conviction makes some changes necessary in the dates on the chart: 1917 
thus takes the place of 1918, An error in the length of the first "day" is 
also corrected. The two halves of the "fourth day" in the new chart* have 
each a length of 46 years. A change is also made in the "69 Week" line for 
the following reason: Daniel foretold the dates of the beginning and the 
ending of Christ's earthly ministry (Daniel 9:24-27). The day-for-a-y ear- 
rule that applies to this prophecy is found in the writings of Moses' and 
Ezekiel (Num. 14:34 and Ezekiel 4:4-8). The "69 weeks" prophecy ])effins 
early in the seventh year of the first Artaxerxes (Ezra 7:7-26). This" was'^the 

IV 



yoar 458 ]>. ('. Tlu' proplu-ey closed Mith "Messiah" arrived in 25 A. D. 
'JMiis was tlie year Clirist was baptized and began preaching. The interval 
lietween the first, and the second date was 488 years. The "69 Aveeks" have 
i'.lso 4H'i (hiys. The "62 weeks" l)egan with the coronation ceremonies for the 
second Ai'taxerxes in 405 H. (". and eiuU'd with the Crucifixion in 29 A. D. 
'i'lie interval was just 4:}4 years. And the "62 weeks" contain just 434 days, 
.lews iiave observed how i)erlectly these two time prophecies point out the 
loui- years Christ was engaged in His earth ministry. The Jews now apply 
the same day-for-a-year-rule to the promise in Daniel 12:11. This is the vital- 
izing text of Zionism 1)ecause Jews know tliat as a result of an alliance with 
1lie Pei-sians llicy got po.ssession and control of Jerusalem and Palestine and 
held it foi- fouiteen years. Then they lost Jerusalem to the Ronums in 
628 A. I). Tiius was suspended for the last time Jewish temple worship. 
Daniel's prophecy of "1290 days'' seems to point to this event. Add to 
the date 628 A. 1). Daniel's 1290 years, and the date of the promised restora- 
linn of Palestine to the Jews appeaj-s as 1918 A. D. Since the Allies captured 
.lerusalem in 1917, if the Jews are to get possession of Palestine in 1918, it 
seems most likely that it will occur as a result of a treaty. Such a treaty can 
hardly be made without being at the same tinu' the agreenuMit that nnist come 
at the end of the war. Jews were free to renew at Jerusalem their sacrifi- 
cial temple worship as soon as the city was captured, Dec. 27, 1917. And the 
iailure of the Jews so to do seems to point out that date as the middle point 
(tf the "Seventieth Week" (Dan. 9:27). The Kaiser's hope of being Po})e- 
l"hiii)er()i- of the world in his palace on the top of the IMountain of Olives was 
shattei-ed by this capt\ire. This analysis of i^ible histoi-y involves the prop- 
osition that at a tinu> not more than 45 years hence men commonly will be 
living to vei-y great ages. I have stated my belief on pages 12, 14 and 17 
Ihat men during the "tilth day" jieriod are to live to such ages as did Abra- 
ham. A search of modei-n medical writings tends to support this belief. Be- 
fore oui- local medical society we delivered a paper Avhich was a review of 
recent lileratui'e. Some twenty-five articles and books were quoted to show 
the pi-esent tirnd towai-d a belief that old-age results chiefly from poisoning 
by disease gei'ms which are growing in the human tissues. And that immuni- 
zation as at present practiced will tend toward very greatly lengthening the 
span of life. This paper was published in the Journal Lancet of Minneapolis 
Feb. 1st. 1918. ' 

Nature's i-ecoi-d and the liible story ai-e equally God's books. 

My analysis of Scriptui'al time has two grand divisions. Each grand 
division has seven sub-divisions or "days." The period when Christ was 
teaching on earth marks the dividing point between the grand divisions In 
the Genesis account Creation's first six days are represented as completed 



But the "seventh day" is represented as continuing. 

I understijnd that the "seventh day" began when Adam fell into sin, 
and continued until that sin and all other transgressions were pardoned as the 
result of Christ giving up His life on the cross. This makes Creation's 
"seventh day" an era of about 4000 years. Also, I understand the seven 
letters to the churches of Asia in Revelation's second and third chapters 
are a chronological and prophetic history of Christ's earthly church. This 
historical accour.t is supplemented by six parallel historical accounts in 
the same book. The fourth of these seven accounts is the prophecy John 
made after hearing the secret message of the seven thunder-voices and after 
he, at the command of the angel, ate the book. Deep meaning and mystery 
are here indicated. The fourth letter to the churches— the one to Thyatira, 
and the supplemental accounts that appear in division four of each of the six 
subsequent and parallel accounts form a column presenting fully as deep 
difficulty and as great mystery. Column four and number four of the parallel 
accounts form a symmetrical and significant cross. It is graphically outlined 
in the accomj^anying chart. 

Chapter ten and the first thirteen verses of chapter eleven in Revc^bi- 
tion is a section evidently interposed into the midst of the account of tlie 
sixth trumpet. The reason for this confusion of order is evidently to nuike 
the problem of interpretation difficult. The command to John to seal up 
the message of the seven thunder voices confirms the theory that John pur- 
posely obscured the phophecy's meaning. If this account had stood in its 
logical place between chapters eleven and twelve the problems of Dani(4 
and Revelation would have been solved more easily. Daniel also twice re- 
ceived similar commands to seal up prophecies (Dan. 8:26 and 12:4 and 9). 

Because in the sixth trumpet blast we have the account of the seven 
sealed-up thunder voices it seems necessary to give the author's interpretation 
of the figure of the trumpet blasts. I find the figui-e introduced by a state- 
ment which I understand means that the prayers of Christian people rospH 
in suffering for the Avilfully rebellious against Christ's rule. One-third of 
mankind only, are affected during each of the first four trrmpet blrst periods. 
Evidently this was due to the slow progress of evangelization and to conipi-o- 
mises Avith heathenism. During the fifth and sixth trumpet periods a gen- 
eral system is evidently to dominate all the peoples of the earth. The sev- 
enth trumpet period is the age when Christ's rule over the govei-nments of 
this, world is complete. Historically, the first trumpet age Avas a period of 
fiery evangelism. The second- trumpet Avas the age of pOAverful state-sup- 
ported extension of the Christian faith. The third trumpet tells of a "star" 
"WorniAvood" Avhich must be IMohammed and liis teaching. The fourth trum- 
pet pictures an age of extension and intensification th«.t must mean the pres- 

VI 



ent war ami llie coiulitioiis that led up to it, as well as tlie recousti-iu-tion peri- 
od that will follow. J^robahly the fifth tniiiipot will be a system of world- 
<.;Ovei-niHeiit whieh is to be inaujrurated in 19();i A. D., and eontiiiue diirinji- an 
a^e of jri-eat peaee and pi'osperity. Pi'obably also, the sixth trumpet is the 
picture of an age when the world through prosperity and pride has come to 
the final wiw — Armageddon. Piobably the experience of Armageddon will 
so educate the world that when the age of the seventh trumpet comes all llic 
resurreEled saints then living will acknowledge the rule of Christ. 

Tilt' wounded head of the beast pi'obably nu'ans the Jewish nation. 

After accepting the rule that in Daniel and Revelation the figure of a 
l)east is always a civil government we come to the question, what does the 
figui-e of a woman mean? The solution that seems to apply to all such figures 
and at the same time agi'ee with the known facts of history is that the woman 
is the type for God's church in this world. What then, is the ama/ing figure 
of the "woman" "liabylon" sitting on the sevendieaded-ten-horned-beast ' 
This seems (piite clearly to be the state supported church. Support of 
chui'ches by state money has ceased except in those countries of Europe with 
a monarchial foi-m of goveinment. Observe the position of chapters 17 and 
1<S in the ehait. This shows thai the institution of state support of churches 
is to cease dui'ing the secoiul half of the fourth day. We may thei'cfoi'e ex- 
pect that the system of state sup]>ort of chui'ches will disappear from the 
eai-th dni'ing the next 46 yeai-s. This system of state control of churches, 
thi'ough i>ay of ministers from state money, is so evidently a leading cause of 
the present war, that it is the commonly accepted prograui that state churches 
are to l)e disestablished in the reconstruction at the end of the war. A clear 
undei-standing that the figui'e "l>fd)ylon" api)lies to all the churches receiv- 
ing state financial aid will siirel\- hasten Ihe movement toward this disestab- 
lishment. 

The latter* half (»f the fourth day period evidently is to be a time of re- 
covei-y fj-om the war and a time of great social and religious activity. At its 
close a notable mas.s-movement of Jews to Christianity is foi'C-shadowed. This 
movement towards Christ by the Je^^■s, beginnini>- in 1963 A. D.. is to continue 
dui'ing the whole 168 yeai-s of the fifth day. Then will api)ear "them Avhich 
say they are Jews, and ai'e not, but do lie." Thus will the beginning of the 
sixth day be signalized. These ^alse Je\vs may easily be the gi-eat money- 
lords of those times and have theii- place of I'esidence in or near the city of 
Jei"usaleni. The Dragon f devil) and the Beast CA\orld-government) and the 
False l*ro])het (Mohammedism) will in the sixth day gather the i>eoples of 
the world to the battle of Armageddon. The size of the army shows that the 
woi-ld will then be very densely populated. We could not noAv possibly pro- 
duce that army of 200,000,000 1aid<s. The battle is jn-obably to occur near 

VII 



the mountain of Megiddo ^^here Josiah fought his hist battle. We are told 
that the waters of the Euphrates River are to be dri-id up to make a road for 
the coming of his vast army from the East. This water will then all be ulil- 
ized to irrigate the rich lands and will have made them desirable as a part 
of the plunder the armies expect to secure. It seems this battle of Armaged- 
don is to occur near the close of the sixth day. But the greatest event of that day 
is described in chapter seven of Revelation which tells of the removal of God's 
people from the world before the catastrophe of Armageddon. One Avay of 
attempting to ascertain the length of the sixth day is to assume that the 
second half "v^eek is to have the same number of years as the iirst half. The 
first half lasted from crucifixion in 29 A. D., to 19i7 A. D., or 1888 years. "We 
are told that the seventh day is to last a thousarid years. This added to the 
last half of the fourth day (46 years) and to the full length of the fifth day 
(168 years) gives a total of 1214 years. This subtracted from 1888 years 
leaves 674 years as the length for the sixth day. Daniel assures us concern- 
ing these prophecies that from the middle of the week "the wise shall un- 
derstand." This understanding by the Avise will be the lai-ger reason foi- the 
great era of peace extending- from the close of the present war to Armaged- 
don — a period of over 800 years. 

My study takes the words of Jehovah's prophets and puts upon tliein 
their natural value. I hold that the Bible is His revealed word to men. 1 
also believe He has written another book in nature and that these books must 
be so read as to harmonize. 

Also I hold that a person Avho has not experienced the miracle of con- 
version is not fit to teach God's word nor is even able to understand it. I 
have given the one thousand years their literal value because they tpll of a 
time when the conflict with the devil has ceased. There is therefore no 
reason for obscuring the meaning of the prophecy to the people of that day. 

There are sure to be two opinions as to whether the first half week be- 
gan with Christ's baptism or crucifixion. If Ave take the date of His baptism 
we thereby lengthen the first half week by four years and would also add a:i 
equal number to the probable length of the sixth day. However, I belicAe 
the Crucifixion is the tiaie starting point of the Christian age. Christ said 
on the Cross "It is finished." I feel that He was not fully revealed until the 
Crucifixion. 

The "2300 days" (of Daniel 8:13-14) are manifestly intended to count 
from the date of the first desolation 169 B. C. And the day-for-a-year rule 
throAvs the date for the beginning of the sixth day on the year 2131 A. D. 
Also "Them AA-hich say they are Jcavs, and are not, but do lie," will at this 
time Ave believe re-establish temple-Avorship ; thereby giAdng the required sign 
for the starting of the sixth day period. We have calculated that the sixth 
day is to have a length of 674 years. We knoAv from numerous texts that

ju'ople (Mark 13:27, ete.) out of tlie world. But the time when this gathering; 
IS to oeeur is known only to the Father (]Mark 13:31-32). The sixth day ap- 
];ears to end with Armageddon completed in the year 2805, A. D., followed 
immediately by the seventh day i)ei-iod lasting on.e thousand years. AVe must 
admit our mistake on page 14 where we said that the date of the ending of 
the sixth day was uid\nowahle. The one unknowa])le occasion (date) is that 
when Christ shall gather Ilis own fi-om among the peoples' of the earth. How- 
ever it appeai-s to come as a soi-t of preparation for Armageddon. For all the

Two charts are published in this supplement. The first represented my 
views when I began wi-iting it two months ago. The second expresses my 
eonchisions at the end of that ])eriod of study — Api-il 22, 1918. 

\'a)-ious dates are given by diffei-ent historians for the capture of the 
City of Jeiusalem by the Jews and Persians. Th.ese range from {il3 to 615 
A. I). There is howevei- no conflict regarding the date when the Hyzantine- 
Pomans recaptui'cd the City. All authorities agree, that was in 628 A. D. 
Thus file date of the last desolation of Jewi.sh temple-woi-ship is positively 
fixed. 

The author wishes to express only a laynum's opinion in nuitters of 
Scriptural intej-j^retation. Put as a physician he is ready to assume responsi-

THE FUTURE. 

Social justice is democracy's pas- 
sion. Japan and China are now held 
in areas so limited that 3,000 of the 
Japanese and 500 of the Chinese each 
must subsist from one square mile 
of productive soil. Victorious dem- 
ocracy will right this wrong. Then 
"will follow the centuries of peace. 

"Ye shall know the truth, and the 
truth shall make you free." — Chi-ist's 
words to the Jews who had believed

SUMMARY 



The author finds himself in a middle position between two great 
groups of interpreters of the prophecies. One group holds that after the 
sixty-nine w^eeks there follow^s a "prophetic gap" in w^hich w^e now are. 
The other group holds that six of the seven periods of John's Revelation 
have already passed and that the present war is Armageddon. 

We present in our pamphlet, "Seventy Weeks," and in this supple- 
mental pamphlet, our argument showing — in our opinion — that the three 
and a half times of Daniel and Revelation mean the same as the fir^ half 
of the seventieth week, and also mean the same as the fir^ half of the 
Gentiles' week or the first half of the Christian age. 

Before Armageddon Christ's people are suddenly all taken out of 
the w^orld. Armageddon slays one-third, but the remaining two-thirds of 
the people fail to repent. After an interval this remnant of mankind is 
slain. Also at that same time the resurrecTted saints are judged and given 
their rew^ards. These saints reign on earth with Christ a triousand years. 
During these thousand years the devil is chained. At its close he is 
loosed and starts a w^ar against God's people. The people w^ho follow 
the devil are devoured by fire from heaven. The blood from this slaugh- 
ter w^ill make a lake tw^o hundred miles w^ide and three feet deep. I he 
devil is then thrown into the everlasting fire where the beast and the 
false prophet have been for over one thousand years. At the close of 
the second judgment death and hell are cast into the same everlasting fire. 

The time for taking the saints out of the w^orld before Armageddon 
and the subsequent slaying of the remainder of the w^icked is both un- 
known and unknow^able — Mark 1 3:31-32. Paul, in a burst of ecstasy, says 
in First Corinthians (15:50-55), "We shall not all sleep, but we shall all 
be changed. " This to me has the meaning that the saints who are re- 
moved before Armageddon are to receive their rewards in the First 
Judgment. The time for w^hich seems to run parallel with Armageddon 
and continues thereafter during the time while two-thirds of earth's pop- 
ulation left alive after that battle are slain. The saints already gathered 
in one place receive their rew^ards. This portion of Scripture must remain 
a sealed record until the time of its fulfillment. 



SEVENTY WEEKS SUPPLEMENT. 
CORRECTION NOTE. 

(For This Pamphlet.) 

The italics on page seven should read : resurrected saints and the living trans- 
lated saints will acknowledge the rule of Christ. 

The second paragraph on this same page should have the following add- 
ed: -The prophecy of "666" seems to portray a worshipful reverence for Jewish 
wealth and power during the second half of the Gentiles' week. (Rev. 3:9 and 
13:12-18) 

The middle paragraph on the same page should he supplemented as follows: 

The figure "Jezebel" certainly refers to the present events and the troubles 
of the Russian skate church, and to the slaughter of the war. (Rev. 2:20-23) 

Wliiio llie woman "i)ali\li)n"' is certainly tlie ligure for the unfaithful churcii and 
wliijo'wc must admit that she continues from early in the Christian age down to 
ilie lime of the first judgment, yet it is also true that during mnch of this same 
ime a faithful church was heiug jwrsecuted hy the Dragon-heast, and this church 
was given during the first half week "the two wings of the great eagle" (which I 
understand from likeness of sha])e and historical setting refers in part to the set- 
tlement of the Amei'ican Continent) "where she is nourished for a time, and times, 
aiul half a time" (tiiree and a half periods.) The Dragon-heast then starts a war 
iin the remainder of the woman's seed who keep the commandm.ents of Christ — 
(Study (J ROUP y on i)agp XIV, and the references, to find what next occurs to 
the Dragon-heast.) As a result of the war against the seed of the pure church the 
Dragon-beast is detlnoned hy the two-horned-heast. Here is direct prophecy that 
the ])ower which starti'd this war is to Ite defeated. And also remember that this 
Dragon-I)east is a woild government as shown hy the rule that in Daniel and Reve- 
lation the tlgure of a beast means a civil government. Our Aml)assador Henry Mor- 
genthau tells how Germjjny's Ambassador Baron von Wangenheim revealed how^ at 
Potsdam (icrman leaders on -lulv r)th, lflI4, plaii'""i '"" Hie starting of the war. — 
WOIUiirs WOh'K June numl)er. ' .\ 

I would amend the tTiird paragraph on page n\x'lve, hecause we only know 
f'hrist's people are to ))e taken from the world sometime during the 674 years of 
the sixth period. However when Christ takes away His people the natural results 
will follow: (Rev. 18:4-24.) In this same third paragraph we made the error of 
plaiing the slaugliter in the neighborhood of the second rather than the first judg- 
nient. The fourth paragraph caiTies an overstatement where it says the time for 
slaying the wicked who remain after Armageddon is not known or knowable. It is 
(piite possible that Bil)le scholars will agree that this event must come in the year 
of our Lord 2805. 

In study use the chart on page XIV. Group Seven in this chart should have 
the first six days occupied by Rev. I 7:3-18. Like Groups One, Two, Three, 
Four and Six, Group Seven has no mid-week point designated.

Now, at the end of three and a half times we can claim the premise made 
to Daniel by the angel that at this time the righteous and wise shall understand. 
When in 1917 the Jews lost interest in their temple-worship their national re- 
ligious death occurred. And they are to be largely won to Christ in 1963, ac- 
coridng to Daniel 12:7-12) 



XIIA 



ADDITIONS TO MAKE SOME MATTERS CLEAR AND CORRECT OTHERS 

Dr. James M. Gray says that the fourth empire of the prophecy in Daniel's second 
chapter has from as far back asjosephus been accepted by orthodox writers as meaning the 
Roman Empire. Without quoting the doctor farther we turn to the figure of the four 
beasts in Daniel's seventh chapter. Here also the fourth figure is evidently the Roman 
Empire. The belief that these two figures are parallel types is the foundation on which 
our chart is constructed. 

"The seven heads are seven mountains they are seven kings and the beaA 

that was, and is not, is himself also an eighth, and is of the seven; and he goeth into per- 
dition." (Rev. 17:9-1 1). Our chart shows that the beast is the devil. The seven moun- 
tains and the seven kings are types standing for the seven periods of the Christian age. 
This age as the chart show^s stretches from Christ's baptism to the close of the seventh 
Christian period, having a total length of 3605 years. 7his> is about 220 years less than 
was the time from man's creation to Christ's baptism. Christ said — we believe concerning 
this comparison — "And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been 
saved; but for the ele<5t's sake those days shall be shortened." (Matt. 24:?2). 

The prophecies giving the limits of the seven Christian periods are found in Daniel 
and Revelation, and indicate that the time from Christ to Constantine's Edidt of Toleration 
is the first of the seven Christian periods, and that the second Christian period lasts up to 
the time of Mohammed's proclamation of his teaching; while the third Christian period 
lasts up to the time when Temporal Power was withdrawn from the Pope by the Italian 
Parliament. The fourth Christian period lasts up to the time of the promised conversion 
of the Jews in A. D. 1963. (Dan. 12:12). The fifth Christian period lasts up to the time 
Jewish temple worship is re-established in A. D. 2131. (Dan. 8:11-14 and Rev. 3:9). 
For the length of the sixth and seventh Christian periods read page VIH. There is a bnef 
eighth period during which Satan holds sway on earth. (Rev. 1 1:7. 17;1 1. 20:7-10). It 
cannot be called a Christian period because the Christian age w^as closed ju^ previous to 
its beginning. Satan at that time seems able to blot out the influence of the Scripture*. It 
appears thi» age is the time of the second judgment. We are told Chris's chosen and 
faithful ones selected in the time of the first judgment are to escape this trial. (Rev. 20r4-6.) 

The two prophets w^ho are at the close of the Christian age slain by the devil are well 
represented by two Bible characters, John the Baptist and John the Beloved. Of the Bap- 
tist, Christ said no greater man has been born, and of the Beloved he said, "If I will that 
he tarry till I come." Each was intimately related to Christ and each holds his peculiar 
place at the close of one of the two Scriptures. The Baptist w^asthe last of the old line of 
prophets, and the Beloved is credited with being the writer of Revelation. Thus 
they in a special manner represent the Old and the New Testaments. These two records 
co-operating like two men are to dominate the thought and history of the latter half of the 
Christian age. Therefore the prophets are the Jewish and the Christian faiths. ( This is 
to correct a contrary statement made on page IX). "Babylon," the state supported church, 
continues to near to close of the sixth Christian period. (This is to corre<Jt a statement 
on page VII). 

The Balkans and Russia are dominated by the Greek church. By placing Christ 
in a subordinate position the doctrine of that church has lowered the moral standard of 
those nations. 

Satan as Prince of this World tempted Christ, and we are warned that false Christs 
and prophets shall deceive many. (Matt. 24:24). The beast and the false prophet are 
but two among the many forms in Vk'hich Satan by his cunning is able to deceive men. 

Therefore now, at the end of three and a half times, we can claim Daniel's (12:7-12) 
promise, that now and hereafter the wise and righteous shall understand.

A PARTING SHOT 



The seven-headed-ten-homed beast of Daniel and of Rev. 13:1-10 is a 
different figure from that of Rev. 13:14-18. The second appearance of this 
beast is evidently during the second half of the Christian week. This last ap- 
pearance of the beast is by command of the two-horned beast. This second 
appearance of the seven-headed-ten-horned beast while called "666" accentu- 
ates the type of the former appearance where one of its heads exhibited a scar 
of a healed death-blow. If, as we believe, this wounded head signifies the 
Jewish nation, then in the second half of the Christian age the Jew is to dom- 
inate the world. Upon the back of this "666" type of seven-headed-ten- 
horned b-dst therefore "Babylon" must ride until her judgment during the 
sixth day of the Christian week, as is indicated in Rev. 17:10. Accepting this 
interpretation we would be required to apply Rev. 1 7:3-18 to time of the first 
six days of the Christian week. 

The beast government of the first half of the Christian ,\veek founded its 
authority always on the basis of physical force. The beast government of the 
second half week seems to use the financial motive in exercising and maintain- 
ing its control. (Rev. 13:17). The two-horned beast, type #S|||prof govern- 
ment, seems to disappear after it sets up and gives life to the "666" type. 

The ten kings of Daniel (7:8-26) are evidently not identical with the ten of 
Revelation (17:12-18), because the kings of Daniel quite surely apply to the 
time of the rise and history of the Pope,t while the ten of Revelation must 
apply to a group of ten governments that are to constitute the ruling powers of 
the world during the sixth day of the Christian week. As a result of abuses in 
the Church of that day these ten governments simultaneously resort to meas- 
ures which desolate and destroy their "Babylon" church. About this same time 
the angel gives the command: "Come forth, my people, out of her." If this is 
the signal for the gathering of the righteous from among the peoples of the 
earth, as it apparently is, the trend toward the battle of Armageddon near the 
close of the six1:h day becomes understandable. 

In conclusion, we wish to say, this solution of the problems of Daniel's and 
John's prophecies rests largely upon the author's belief that the average human 
lifetime is, in the near future to be very greatly lengthened. The application of 
the year-for-a-day rule to the figure of the fifth trumpet gives the men of that 
age a lifetime of 150 or more years. Bible students were able to accept this 
year-for-a-day rule when it applied to the interval between the giving of the 
order by Artaxerxes for the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the arrival of the 
Messiah, but have balked at its getieral application to the prophecies of Daniel 

POSTSCRIPT- Page 19 

I We agree with the claims of the Popes that the passage in Daniel's seventh chapter con- 
cerning the three kings and the horns does mean the Papal office. The Pope's triple crown and 
the breast-plate with its three horns are the standing sign by which claim is made to this proph- 
ecy. '

and Revelation. Two years of study on this pro '"^"'^;^Y'''g^y''g0^''''2'" # iter 
that this year-f or-a-day rule was quite generally a^^^t^^^^ ^^ «.», v««^ wx «.^«irth 
of Christ. Because the Greek version of the Old Testament was then found in 
any well stocked Greek library, Jesus himself used it when quoting Scripture. 
From then till now the year-for-a-day rule has been applied to the prophecies 
in Daniel foretelling the time for the Messiah's appearing. When, however, 
students sought to apply the rule to Revelation they came upon an apparent 
conflict where the prophecy of the fifth trumpet would change the alloted hu- 
man lifetime from 70 or 80 years to double that duration. 

The full acceptance by Bible scholars of our chart's interpretation will 
come when immunization has lengthened the human lifetime to 150 or more 
years." Our deductions as shown in the chart would have this prophecy con- 
summated by the year 1963 A. D. Therefore this process of immunization 
must now be in operation to produce such very aged people by that time. My 
own work and experience with immunization favors this view.
